came riding up from the direction OF apo

letter from Lee which Lieut.. Pease had
brought in from Meades lines Lee WAS 50
closely pressed that he was anxious 10 com
municate with Grant by the most direct
means, and as he could not tell with which
column Grant was moving he sent in one
copy of his letter on Meade's front and one
on Sheridan,s. Col Newhall joined our
party, and after few minutes halt to read
ths letter, we continued our ride towards
Appomattox. On the march had asked the
general several times how he felt. To the
same question now he said; The PAIN In

HUNTING A HOUSE.

To save time it was arranged that a Union
officer, accompanied by one of Lees officers,
should carry this letter through the enemy's
lines THIS route made the distance to Meade
nearly ten miles shorter than by the round
about way of the Union lines. Lee now
mounted his horse and directed Col Charles
Marshall, his military secretary, to accom-
pany him. They started for Appomattox
court house in company with Babcock and
followed by mounted orderly. When the
party reached the village they met one of its
residents named Wilbur Mclean, who was
told that Gen, Lee wanted to occupy a con-
venient room in some house in the town.
Mclean ushered them into the sitting room
Of one of the first houses he came to, but
upon looking about and finding it quite small
and meagerly furnished, Lee proposed finding
something more commodious and better fitted
for the occasion. Mclean then conducted
the party to hts own house, about the best one
in the town, where they awaited Gen Grants
arrival
The house had comfortable wooden
porch with seven steps leading up to it. A
hall ran through the middle from front to
back, and on each side was a room having
two windows, one in front and one in rear
Each room had two doors opening into the
hall. The building stood little distance
back from the street, with yard in front,
and to the LEFT was gate for carriages and
roadway running to a stable in rear. We
entered the grounds by this gate and dis
mounted In the yard were seen a fine large
gray horse, which proved to be Gen. Lees
and q good looking mare belonging to Col
Marshall An orderly in gray was in charge
Of them, and had taken off their brides to
let them nibble the grass.
Gen Grant mounted the stops and entered
the house As he stepped into the hall, Col.
Babcock, who had seen his approach from
the window, opened the door Of the room on
the left, in which he had been sitting with
Gen. Lee and Col Marshall, awaiting Gen.
Grants arrival The general passed in,
while the members of the starf, Gems Sheri-
dan and Ord, and some general officers who
had gathered in the front yard remained out
side, feeling TINT be would probably want
his first interview with Gen. Lee to be, in q
measure, private In few minutes Col
Babcock came to the front door, and making
a motion with his hat towards the sitting
room, said: "The general says, come in" II
